If you can connect via Telnet that effectively removes NTL from the equation (ie there's no blocking occuring). As such it isn't connectivity related but a configuration issue somewhere. Either the mail client is mis configured (eg trying to use an AUTH method not supported by the server) or your account on the server has been 'stuffed up' (technical term
)

I believe NTL have implemented spam filtering on their mail servers but this shouldn't impact any mail which bypasses them as you are trying to do.
